EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the incredible scene outside Wembley Stadium during the first ever FA Cup Final in 1923. The match between Bolton Wanderers and West Ham United drew an astonishing crowd of around 300,000 people, far surpassing the stadium's capacity of 125,000. The sheer magnitude of eager spectators is truly awe-inspiring. In this historic image, we witness a sea of individuals anxiously waiting to enter the stadium for what would become known as the "White Horse Final". Amongst them stands a policeman mounted on a majestic white horse, valiantly clearing off those who had encroached onto the pitch. This iconic moment has forever etched itself into football folklore. The photograph not only showcases the excitement and anticipation surrounding this momentous event but also provides a glimpse into early 20th-century England. Men donning hats can be seen alongside women and children eagerly awaiting their chance to witness history unfold. As one delves deeper into this remarkable snapshot, it becomes evident that it encapsulates more than just a football match; it represents unity, passion, and community spirit. It serves as a testament to how sport has always had an unparalleled ability to bring people together from all walks of life. Preserved through time in stunning black and white tones, this archival piece by Ken Welsh transports us back to an era where stadiums were filled with fervent fans who shared an unyielding love for their teams. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and overcrowding, there is beauty in collective enthusiasm for something greater than ourselves - in this case, football's most prestigious cup competition: The FA Cup Final.
